DeeJ from Bungie here, with some important news for all Crucible warriors. Iron Banner returns today. When Lord Saladin appears in the Tower, he’ll have something extra to entice you to join the battle. On PlayStation, champions of the competitive event will have a chance to earn an exclusive gear set.

Power matters in Iron Banner, so the armor you equip makes all the difference. You’ll find some of these additional items in each Iron Banner event, available from Lord Saladin. It will also drop at the conclusion of a match, as loot does.

Get in there and fight. Be brave. Earn some endgame Legendary gear.

I’ll see you in there.

DeeJ from Bungie here, with an E3 shout out to all Guardians. It was awesome to be on the PlayStation stage once again — this time to unveil a major expansion to kick off the second year of Destiny. On September 15th, we’re sending you starside to battle fierce new enemies and explore exciting new places in The Taken King.

If you want to learn more about The Taken King, there are versions for everyone — from the players who are ready to begin their adventure in Destiny, to the seasoned Guardians who have already started to forge their legends. While you’re there, check out the content that will be exclusive to PlayStation gamers.

E3 is just beginning. We’ll be talking all about the new abilities that each Guardian will need to master to confront this threat all week long. Stay tuned for more details.

It’s been a crazy year at Bungie. Not only did we launch a new game, but we saw a brand new community rally around it. We’ve had an amazing time welcoming you to the Tower, and fighting alongside you in public events. Even better, we got to meet some of you in real life – at E3, gamescom, or even the very first PlayStation Experience.

With the holiday season upon us, we’re grateful for the past year that we’ve shared. As Guardians, you’ve made Destiny better than it could have been without you. As players, you’ve given us the feedback we need to make the game even better. That conversation will continue into the new year and beyond. There’s a lot more to look forward to, and we’re thrilled that you’re a part of that process.

Over on Bungie.net, we’re taking a final look back at the first 100 days of Destiny. Check it out. More than the statistics, it’s the memories that we value the most.

We have some gifts in store for each of you – a small token of our appreciation. See the End-of-Year Update for details.

Thanks for playing. See you next year.

We’re days away from the launch of Destiny. Before we launch, check out this final glimpse of our brave new world.

A Fireteam heads out on an epic, action-packed road trip across our Solar System to face our enemies, take back what is ours and, in the end, Become Legend.

We’re launching you to visit this brave new world on September 9th, see you there.

If you were one of the brave testers in the Destiny Beta, you might have had your first taste of competitive action in the Crucible. When Destiny launches on September 9th, you’ll have even more ways to prove your skill against other champions of the last safe city on Earth.

This week at gamescom, we’re revealing more details about the battles that will rage between Guardians. Hone your skills against other players in arenas that span the solar system. Victory will earn you special armor, weapons, and gear that you can take with you into every single mode of play.

Legends aren’t born. They are made – forged in the fire of the Crucible.

]]>UPDATE: If you want to upgrade your PlayStation digital preorder of Destiny to the new Digital Guardian Edition, head to PlayStation Store and the price should reflect the difference. For those who haven’t preordered any digital version, you’ll see the full price of $89.99.

If all you need from Destiny is a grand adventure that sends you to the stars in search of your own personal legend, we’ve got you more than covered. If you’ve played Bungie games in the past, you’re not prepared for the scope and the scale of this next-gen shooter.

However! If you crave more ways to express your inner Guardian, we’ve also got you covered. Destiny is all about collecting loot, after all. The treasures you claim on your missions will enhance your experience. They’ll make you a unique warrior in a brave new world worthy of heroes. They’ll deepen your understanding of the journey. This is as true for the Guardian that kicks alien ass it is for the player that drives them forward.

Be you a Guardian or a collector, there is a version of Destiny for you. Check ‘em out.

Contents:

Limited Edition SteelBook Case and Game Disc

This is not the only way to earn Vanguard items – but it’s a jump start in the arms race.

Want a closer look at all of this?

To unpack all the details, our friends at IGN are joining the Bungie Day party. Watch as they open the box that contains your bright future. All month long, they’ll be helping us tell the story that leads to the Destiny Beta, and the final launch of the game.

Happy Bungie Day, PlayStation Nation. We’re thrilled to share in our annual celebration of community among gamers with some exciting news about Destiny.

You’ve imagined yourselves in the boots of a Guardian, prowling the wild frontier in search of treasure and glory. The time for dreaming is almost over. The time to fight is at hand. The Destiny Beta is our chance to fill our brave new world with life and see how it holds up against the stampede.

Play when you can, but make sure you’re present to be counted on July 26th. Not only are we hoping to leave a high watermark for population on that day, we’ll also provide a special reward to those of you who make an appearance in the Tower… or in the frontiers beyond its walls.

You have questions. We have answers. Check out the Destiny Beta FAQ on Bungie.net to learn everything you need to know to create your first Guardian.

The Beta is just a sample of the experience we’re packing into Destiny.

Look like fun? It’s even more fun with you in there. If you played the Alpha, there are new revelations for you to enjoy. If the Beta will be your first taste of sweet Destiny action, we have amazing sights for you to behold: Character creation. Story missions. Cooperative Strikes. Competitive Crucible matches. Social engagements. Dance Battles.

The next step in the march toward the Destiny Beta is days away. On July 10th, Bungie.net gets a serious augmentation with some new features and services that will help you deal yourself in to the action that awaits us all. Stay tuned.

It’s been an exciting week for us in Los Angeles, preparing the Sony booth for some competitive hands-on action. Before those doors swing wide, we’ll begin with a journey through space and time. Learn about the end of everything, and a new beginning.

“From the ruins of humanity’s past, Guardians rise. To defend our home. To explore our lost worlds. To give us hope.”

This is just the beginning. Stay tuned for more from E3. Thank you so much for watching!

Hey there, PlayStation Nation. I’m here from Bungie, to offer you another look into the world of Destiny. Very soon, you’ll have a chance to take your first steps into that world as a Guardian of the last safe city on Earth. We have a grand adventure planned for you, and we’re thrilled to be sharing another piece of it.

For now, check out just one of the ways you’ll be to enjoy our upcoming shooter. This is a Strike – a cooperative scenario that sends a Fireteam on a dangerous mission to defeat hostile aliens and reap sweet rewards. See the action through the eyes of three of our heroes.

Very recently, we welcomed some of our friends at PlayStation to enjoy this very mission with us. We’re excited to hear what they have to say. And, we’re excited to hear what you have to say as well. At the end of this trailer, you’ll learn about the chapter in the story that leads to you experiencing Destiny for yourself.

We can’t wait to cross paths with you in this living, social world.
